Spring Break ends with disappointment and new hope
TAMMY SUTTON
staff writer
Well, Spring Break is over now.
Some of us are glad, and the rest of us
are not so glad. While we only have
five weeks left in the semester (thank
God), those five weeks are going to
be difficult and hectic for many stu­dents.
Tests, papers, and finals con­sume
our life, yet we still find time to
reflect back on our Spring Break
memories. I asked a few of the people
whom I interviewed before break if
their break really went as planned...
Did Mark Smythe really sit in his
backyard and watch the grass grow?
“No, I shovelled the driveway until
my dad told me he bought a snow­blower,”
said Mark.
Did Kevin Audlin sit on the beach
and get toasted? Mr. Audlin’s reply to

The St. Mary’s campus was en­lightened
this past Saturday, April
3, by Jen Page’s Junior Recital. At
8pm the lyrical entertainment began
in room 25 Montgomery Hall, and
was followed by a pleasant recep­tion.
There were many posters spread
throughout campus informing the
community of the event; this adver­tisement
paid off for Jennifer.
The Junior Recital is unlike the
Senior Recital in that it is not a
requirement for music majors at St.
Mary’s. Performing a recital in the
junior year is a good background for
the one upcoming senior recital,
though; it lets the campus and the
professors see the accomplishments
that the musician has made over the
years.
The music performed in Jen’s re­cital
was the same material that she
has been polishing to perfection all
year. The music that she so elo­quently
sang was: a set of German
songs by Schubert, a set of French
songs by Faure (translations were
provided,) a German opera entitled,
“Aria” by Die Fledermaus, one of
Handel’s songs and one song by
Purcell.
Jen has been singing for a long
time, considering.
“My mom tells me that when I
was only 6 months old she found me
sitting on our floor playing with my
teeny little toes singing, “La, la, la,
la!” Jennifer explained.
Since then Jen has been practic­ing
with trained professionals. Her
practice at St. Mary’s began with
voice lessons in her senior year of
high school. It seems to have been
all uphill for Jennifer from there.
Jennifer’s voice teacher is Larry
Vote, and Jennnifer said that she
owed part of her success to him.
Obviously, we all owe a great deal
to the voice teacher if he improved
upon Jen Page’s voice. That is an
accomplishment in itself, since her
voice has practically hit perfection.
this was, “I did. I got burned and
drunk. It was crazy- you could have
beer anywhere. We also watched
Jenny-Ho throw a pitcher at a bouncer
which got us all kicked out.”
Did Dave Brelsford collect lint and
give it to a friend? Or more impor­tantly,
didhe get any callsover break?
Well here’s how he described it, “I
turned my front yard into an igloo,
and my dog pissed on it, and then my
sister flattened it. I couldn’t believe it.
I was so mad. My mother enjoyed
talking to the drunk guy who called
on Tuesday. She says hello. I didn’t
get too much lint, but what I did find,
I mailed to my friend in Delaware.
Spring Break sucked eggs.”
Of course, I didn’t forget about the
alternative Spring Break project, that
is, the 15 students who travelled to
Miami to participate in Hurricane
Andrew Relief prefects. This project
being the first of its kind for SMC, is
certainly an admirable one.
". . . I shovelled the
driveway until my
dad told me he
bought a snow-
______ blower/'______
“The Little Farm,” an educational
retreat site for inner city children
which was destroyed by Hurricane
Andrew, was worked on by the stu­dents.
They also laid the foundation
for a new bam and prepared the
family’s house for restoration. Being
the family’s only financial support,
the farm’s revival was necessary, and
thanks to SMC’s caring volunteers, it
was made possible.
When asked what she thought of
the destruction in Homestead, Florida,
Stephanie Tiller said,’There was trash
and debris piled high on all sides.
Houses were wiped away. All of us
sat in the van quiet.” Cathy Anderson
stated, “We were faced with both
finishing off the destruction caused
by the hurricane and a reconstruction
of the farm and nursery.”
Coordinators of the project, Cam­pus
Life Assistants, Carla Maranto
and Kelley Dean said, “I think we all
gained a new perspective on our own
lives and certainly a greater apprecia­tion
for what we have.”
The week was best summed up by
Tim Slayter: “With the energy that I
have seen this week from certain indi­viduals,
I have realized that the de­mise
of humankind will never be at
the hands of nature. This I truly be­lieve..
. nature is truly powerful but we
are stronger in time.”
The individuals who participated
in this Alternative Spring Break pro­gram
included Mary Augustin,
Stephanie Tiller, Laura Lear, Heather
Haberle, Amber Johnson, Alicia
Kunz, Joanne Archer, Sookyong
Uhm, Kristin Parrish, Seung Choi,
Cathy Anderson, Tracey Freeman,
Tim Slayter, Kelley Dean, and Carla
Maranto. All of these students hope
that in the future this program will
continue to gain both student interest
and support from the college.
Even though Spring Break has
ended, summer is rapidly approach­ing.
So remember, only a few more
weeks until we can get rid of our
books (oh, and Woods food as well!)
and then we’re outta here!!!
